Isaiah 55

“Come, all who thirst, come to the waters!
You who have no money, come, buy and eat.
Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend silver on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to me and eat what is good, and let your soul delight in rich food. Incline your ear and come to me;
hear, so that your soul may live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the sure mercies promised to David. Look, I have made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander of the peoples. Look, you will call a nation you do not know, and a nation that did not know you will run to you, because of the LORD your God and the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you.” Seek the LORD while he may be found;
call upon him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts.
Let him return to the LORD, and he will have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as rain and snow come down from heaven and do not return there without watering the earth, making it bear and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so will my word be that goes out from my mouth.
It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and succeed in what I sent it to do. For you will go out with joy and be led in peace.
The mountains and hills will break into singing before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. Instead of the thornbush a cypress will grow, and instead of the nettle a myrtle will grow.
This will be for the LORD a name, an everlasting sign that will not be cut off.”
